📚 Wrist/Ankle Straps Guide: How to Choose

Weight depends on level and goal: 0.5Kg = beginners/rehabilitation, 1Kg = intermediates/toning, 1.5Kg = advanced/strengthening, 2Kg = expert athletes/maximum intensity. Always start with a lower weight and gradually progress every 4-6 weeks. Neoprene is better than fabric (lasts longer, superior comfort). Velcro should be wide and strong for safety.

How to Use Them Correctly

Placement: Wrists = above bone, ankles = above malleolus. Adjustment: Snug but not too tight (one finger should fit). Progression: Start 10-15min, gradually increase. Recommended exercises: Squats, lunges, kicks, arm curls, lateral raises, running, jumping jacks. Frequency: 2-3 times/week, 48h rest between sessions.

Care and Maintenance

Clean with a damp cloth after each use, air dry. Never machine wash (damages filling and velcro). Storage: Dry place, avoid humidity. Durability: 2-3 years with regular use. Replacement: When velcro loses grip or neoprene tears.
